Bauer's Bets: Fast & Firm At Tampa, Friday's Play Of The Day

R WAY TO ESCAPE (4) from the leading Bennett barn, looks to be in a good spot in Race 5, a $10,000 claimer on the lawn. This four year-old filly has not been on the turf yet this season, but has gone well on the weeds in the past and owns a 2 for 4 record in Tampa. Samy Camacho rides for the first time, he and Bennett are clicking at 40%. She has enough tactical speed to get first run out of the turn and hold off KAHELESSI KAT (8), who will be coming on late. THE BET: $10 to win on R WAY TO ESCAPE (4) and a $2 exacta box with GET A ROOM (6) and KAHELESSI KAT (8). 4,6,8. Total Bet $22. GOOD LUCK
